The purpose of this article is to appreciate João Cabral de Melo Neto work in broad spectrum, by means of two poems published in different moments of his production: "O ovo da galinha", collected in Serial (1961); and "O ovo podre", first published in Agrestes (1985). By comparing his critical reception, it is intended to reflect on the poet´s dissident subjectivity whose projection in language artifacts constitutes itself as a significant trace of his written on the object constructed, so formally as in its content. Thus egg is offered as an object at the same time multiple – subject of multiple holdings – and impersonal – because devoid of memorial or ideological previews connotations.
